ATTENTION TCA MEMBERS! TCA PAC 2024 Annual Fundraiser Donor Pay LinkTCA President, BRADY RAINDL, of ECOM U.S.A., Lubbock, encourages all TCA members to donate dollars for The Texas Cotton Association Merchants Fund Annual Fundraiser! These dollars are expensed to benefit lawmakers and government officials in TEXAS that will protect our interests as we routinely face political challenges affecting our TEXAS COTTON commodity. We specifically maximize these dollars to protect and serve the cotton merchant and members that facilitate the transportation of Texas cotton over the road, the railways and at the port. We advocate on behalf of TCA members in our state legislature while they are in session and during the interim. The 89th regular legislative session is scheduled to meet from January 14, 2025, to June 2, 2025. 150 seats in the Texas House of Representatives and 15 seats in the Texas Senate will be up for election in November 2024. We have work to do at the state level to educate newly elected freshman members and continue to support those that support TEXAS COTTON! The Texas Cotton Association "Cotton Merchants Fund", established in 1973, is authorized to make expenditures to lawmakers that will work on our behalf to keep TEXAS COTTON a priority in our state. It is imperative that we utilize your dollars to continue to educate and influence. Because of the dwindling number of government leadership that understand agriculture and the uptick of new lawmakers in Texas that do not understand agriculture, we must be present to communicate the 7 billion dollar economic impact that TEXAS COTTON provides the state's economy and prevent any detrimental legislation. We must have a well-funded political action committee to support our key priorities among state legislators. We respectfully urge you to contribute! Won't you please consider a contribution today? Please encourage others within your firm to give! Let's partner by pooling our dollars to keep TEXAS COTTON competitive and politically strong! *The Texas Ethics Commission requires that funds be made with personal cards or checks. Corporate donations are not allowed. Disclaimer: This solicitation is for personal donations from MEMBERS ONLY and / or their family members and does not include the solicitation of the non-member class prohibited by laws governing the Texas Ethics Commission.*
